Event Navigation

This year, we welcome as the 2024 UNESCO World Philosophy Day Lecture speaker Linda Martín Alcoff, a professor of Philosophy at Hunter College and the Graduate Centre, CUNY. Alcoff has worked for many years on the intersections of knowledge, identity, and power. She specializes in social epistemology, feminist philosophy, philosophy of race, decolonial theory and continental philosophy, especially the work of Michel Foucault. Her recent books include Rape and Resistance (Polity, 2018), The Future of Whiteness (Polity, 2018), and Visible Identities: Race, Gender, and the Self (Oxford University Press, 2006), the latter of which won the Frantz Fanon Award.
This is an in-person event, but those unable to come to campus may attend via Zoom.
